spring break

Cody's spring break was pretty low-key this year.  He had some well-deserved "chill time" and loved every minute of it!  We had made plans to hang out with our wonderful friends, Paul and Kyla, over the break.  They are going to dental school in Ohio and have a daughter about Jaden's age.  We always love our time with them!  We were so looking forward to seeing them, but unfortunately their family came down with the flu last minute.  Such a bummer!  We're excited to hopefully see them this summer though.

So with March Maddness starting up, it wasn't hard to keep busy... more like entertained!  We had high hopes for our Aggies and cheered hard for them through the first round.  Jaden had fun strutting his Aggie pride.

On St. Patrick's Day, we made our traditional green chili with lime wedges and avocado.  
Can't forget the shamrock sugar cookies!

That week happened to be our annual scout spaghetti dinner and cake auction.  The money goes to support our scout's high adventure trip.  I had fun creating a strawberry & blueberry shortcake trifle.

We failed to take any pictures, but we ended our break with another fondue night at the Beck's.  Didn't think it was possible, but I think we might have outdid ourselves from our New Year's Eve fondue night.  Rachael made a delicious cheese dip for breads and veggies.  We'll have to see what we come up with for next time!:)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring!  Now if the temperatures would just notch it up a bit:)

Love the update. Jaden's shirt is great:) Wished USU had a better position in the tournament. They got a bad deal. Was happy for BYU that they did as well as they did. You'll be glad to know that I was so nice to the Aggies that called me recently. They asked for Dad and I said, you really don't want to talk to him . . . he won't give you anything, talk to me instead:) So they did. I think it was for the Library fund. Dad always get the credit, though. Oh, well. Doesn't matter:)

Oh my freaking gosh! Those cookies look divine! You should totally pack some up and mail them to me... seriously. Usually, I joke. But seriously. SERIOUSLY.
